You should go on their website, they have info on how to use their services.

Basically you click on buy stock direct, which will give you a long list of companies. It is time-consuming to sort through this because each company has its own plan, which you really need to check;

The rules vary, some companies require that you already own 1, 10, or even more shares, in your own name (not at a broker where stock is held in ’street name’). But many companies allow you to make an initial purchase online of various minimum amounts.

Some companies waive the large initial purchase requirement if you set up monthly direct deposit. The subsequent purchases have a minimum also but much lower.

You need to look in the plan for fees. Most charge to sell your stock, but will issue certificates at no charge. Many have a fee plus a per share charge for shares you buy.

My advice is to find stocks you like that do not charge a fee for investment. Then set up a monthly investment amount — this has the benefit of ‘dollar cost averaging’, meaning when the stock price is down you get more shares for your money, when its up fewer shares.

I’ve invested this way for 12 years. SJ
